Induction of chromosome damage by benzo[a]pyrene, 2-aminofluorene and cyclophosphamide in the root cells of Vicia faba.
The induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations (CAs) by benzo[a]pyrene (BP), 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) and cyclophosphamide (CP) in the root cells of Vicia faba was examined. BP and 2-AF induced CAs, but not SCEs. CP induced both SCEs and CAs.
